Ha—just got an email notification about this thread. Haven’t been on tgr in 10 years. Two wives and three kids will do that do you...shred the gnar guys.

Probably won't drink all 7--I'd be shitfaced--and will probably use about 2 cans. I can look up the yeast rinsing techniques and the bottle culturing techniques online I'm sure. How long did it...
How did you propagate the yeast? I've got 7 cans left and am looking to do the same. Did you just step up your starters for like 100ml, 500, 2000?
Sorry I thought you meant chocolate as in bakers chocolate or cacao nibs. Chocolate malt is different!
Just saw on Facebook that the red chair was down for part of the day and they were letting people ski for free once they got it up. Anyone there today?
Anyone interested in showing me around some bc in northern vt Sunday morning? Just got my set up today to start doing some touring. Some of the folks in this thread could vouch for my non gaperness...
I have read/heard that strawberries lose all of their flavor/aroma in the fermentation process. You may want to go with cherries and kill the chocolate. Don't want too much stuff getting in the way...
Getting a program like beer smith will help you dial in your numbers and your system. I would read through how to brew like criscam said before I would jump to beer smith. It has a lot of functions...
Storm is looking pretty good for Thursday. How does magic look so far? I'm leaning towards mrg or Burke but its a farther drive (and worse).
Just make sure you keep your yeast healthy and happy. The yeast make the beer and if your fermentation temps are too hot or cold you could end up with some seriously off flavors.
Muscle imbalances for sure. You definitely need to make sure that you are doing more pulling than pushing exercises especially horizontal pulling. You should always get a lift off even if you can...
I has issues with the first choc stout I did because it was really bitter from the choc. let us know how it came out!
How much did one of those run you? How did you regulate how much O2 when in there? I've been wanting to get into pure oxygen but I have had no idea where to start.
Just kegged my APA after 8 days in the primary. Tastes great--I love fermentation temperature control! Brewing up a irish stout with a buddy on Sunday. Gotta love brewing season!
Enough to give the brown sugar flavor.
Yeah I'd be willing to bet a 1/2 a cup isn't enough. I'm sure the cinnamon and the vanilla will come through. Good stuff!
IIRC from a can you brew it show, you need to add a crap ton of brown sugar to get the flavor after fermentation. Let us know if that is the case!
Nice I'd love to know how that columbus acts as a dry hop. I've read it gives a lot of citrus flavor. I am fermenting a pale ale (4.7%) with 2 oz each of cascade and centennial at flameout. It's...
I'm lifting weights 4 times a week and spinning once. It has worked in the past and since I ski like once a year now, it is good enough for me.
Yeah try warming that carboy up when the bubbling starts to slow. Wrap a blanket or sweatshirt around it to get the temp into the low 70s (if it isn't there already). Just make sure you check the...
Even though they are all grain, you can still take the specialty malts from it and learn what malts lead to what flavors.
Good luck and report back!
I would invest in something like beer smith or beer alchemy (mac) to figure out your IBU's. You should shoot for ~100+ IBUs for a IIPA. I have brewed IIPAs with 6 OZ of dry hops so I think you...
I think you will find that with a IIPA you really want the hops to shine through. I would think about doing Light DME, mixed with specialty grains--some crystal 60 or 40, and a whole bunch of hops. ...
I would talk to the police chief and express your disappointment with the police force and how they handled the situation. Then tell your kids to never talk to the cops if they've done anything...
Yeah Sierra Nevada is the only company besides BMC that ship all their product cold across the country (to my knowledge). The chemical reactions in beer occur exponentially faster (I think it is 10x...
A lot of the hop flavor drops out during warm transportation across the country and also warm storage. I will only buy West Coast IPAs that are in the cooler around here. That said I don't really...
I have had Double Jack and I must say that is a fine beer. I think Lagunitas Hop Stoopid is one of my favorites that I can get around here. If it isn't those it is the homebrew ipa on tap in the...
Fermentation, Fermentation, Fermentation
If you have a poor fermentation, you will have funky flavors. Have a good fermentation, and you will have a great beer! Don't worry so much about the...
My last batch got infected--used my WLP002 a few too many times. Oh well--live and learn! Still tastes alright just a little sour. I'm moving out of my apartment this weekend so it may be a while...
The Stone Levitation Clone from Can You Brew It is very tasty and comes in at 4.5% ABV so it is a real session beer.
I've got 10 gallons of Stone Levitation in the keg right now...I teach a college course and coach college baseball--that ends in 2.5 weeks so after that the brewing begins! Not to mention the...
With correct form on DB hang cleans, your biceps shouldn't even come into the equation (ok maybe on the eccentric phase, but that shouldn't limit getting the weight up).
Good work Dalton and Greg! Too bad I didn't get to hang out with you some more on Wednesday...was going to go find you guys and then the lift broke! Oh well--see you next year! haha
Should be at Magic around mid morning tomorrow...figuring the best run will be the one at 3:59 tomorrow afternoon! Hopefully I can see some of the faces I met last year for that epic 3 footer. I...
The -10 lows and +10 highs this weekend are going to keep me from brewing. Next available weekend is sometime in February I think. Oh well.....I've got 3 full kegs and one that's just about...
I will be there in spirit. I watched it this week when Huck put the link up--gonna be a fun show!
Nice TR I enjoyed reading that...too bad conditions weren't better!
While it's benefits are not extreme, a 2-3% increase in performance on a 2:30 marathon would put you at 2:28 or 2:27. On your 9 hour century ride that equates to roughly 8hours, 45 minutes. It's...
Cool. My body hurts just thinking about landing on that hardpack just once. Forget 3 times.
I have brewed this several times and I like it a lot:

Can't go wrong with a Pliny the Elder clone though.
Yes it is--if you've had Pliny the Elder you know that you want to drink it fresh. From my experience the only things you want to let mellow are severe roasty, fruity, or hot alcohol flavors. This...
That is a very interesting article. I wonder what would happen if subsequent articles looked at performance, body fat %, and lean body mass.
Don't go to a CFC unless you are going to pump back into the kettle. I switched to a CFC and it takes too long to drain the kettle but my wort chiller was too small for the bigger batches. Do...
Because rowing is not a strength exercise I wouldn't worry about it. It would be like running after a day of lifting legs. If they were having you dead lift heavy today I would be concerned.
If you are squating/deadlifting then barefoot is a great choice. They (powerlifters) recommend lifting with Chuck Taylors, wrestling shoes, vibram 5-fingers, or nike frees (I've never tried the...
I think you'll find that most big time D1 programs have that type of intensity--maybe not quite all the yelling and screaming. When I was working in the weight room at that level the intensity level...
You won't be disappointed. Mine is in the kegerator and it is amazing.
That would probably work. Would it be a true pub 90 shilling? Probably not but it might taste good. How would you serve it?. You can buy oak chips that are used to add oak flavoring to beer.
If you are looking for some color try carafa special II or sinimar (sp?) extract. The carafa special II is de-husked so you don't get the bitterness from the husk. I'll be interested to see if you...
Yup! WLP 001 or Wyeast 1056. I suppose you could do safale 05 (or is it 06?) but I would go for the liquid.
Frozen I've used plastic buckets for 3 years now and have only gotten infections (and...
